William Schumacher, who has served this district as representative on the board of supervisors, and who for the past two years has been chairman of the board, threw a surprise into his associates on the board Tuesday when he declined re-election to the chairmanship. There would have been no opposition to his re-election. County Clerk J. M. Backs called the meeting to order and announced that nominations were open. Willard Smith immediately placed the name of Schumacher before the board. C. H. Chapman, newly elected member from Santa Ana, seconded the nomination. Before Backs had time to place the motion, Schumacher quietly told the group that although he deeply appreciated the honor extended to him by the nomination, he felt that a policy should be started whereby the honor would be passed on. "In view of that fact, I move that the name of Willard Smith be placed in nomination," Schumacher said. George Jeffrey, supervisor from the fifth district seconded the nomination and Smith was elected unanimously. After taking the chair, Smith announced that selection of sixteen appointive officers and employees, with the naming of committees, would be announced in the afternoon session. "I sincerely appreciate the honor extended to me and to the fourth district," Smith said as he took the chair. "I particularly wish to thank William Schumacher. He gave up a position he could have had if he had desired. He has suggested a policy of passing the honor around and I believe it will work out in the long run to the benefit of the county as a whole." Schumacher had been chairman of the board for the past two years and had been a member for 17 years. At the primary election he not only was nominated for a new term, but received a majority of votes over his compellors at the general election. Smith has been on the board since Leon Whitsell, former supervisor from the fourth district, received appointment to the state railroad commission, several years ago. Chapman, who succeeded Col. S. H. Finley of Santa Ana, who was not a candidate for re-election, took his place on the board today. He became a supervisor officially at noon Monday. Chapman's first act was to second the nomination of Schumacher when it was made by Smith. The following appointments have been made: Dr. F. W. Slabaugh, county purchasing agent; A. A. Brock, horticultural inspector; W. S. Gregg, county aid commissioner; Dr. K. H. Sutherland, county health officer; Dr. Harry Zalser, superintendent of the county hospital and farm; J. B. Irwin, county park custodian; W. E. Adkinson, county fire and class editors are as follows: Senior class, Melva Roquet; Junior class, Helen Houck; sophomore class, Gordon Minder; freshman class, Betty Montgomery.

Governor Young Submits Budget It Will Cost $244,000,000 to Run State Next Two Years Governor Young has submitted his biennial budget to the state legislature, calling for a total of $244,075,305.97 to run the state for the next two years. The new budget represents an increase of 12.28 per cent over the 1927-28 budget, which totalled $217,387,220.81. The governor also reported an increase in the state's surplus during his two-year term of office estimating that the total surplus next June would be approximately $29,302,000. An unusual departure in budget making was presented this year for the first time, that of segregating the budget into three parts. These were the general budget, totalling $58,746,164.61; the educational budget, $78,931,091.26; and the highway budget, $106,432,790. “This segregation is made,” he ex-be given to each of these three major plains, “in order that special study may functional expenditures of the state.” “Of the total budget, only $66,434,322, or 27.22 per cent come under the direct control of the governor. The other 72-78 per cent, or $177,726,784, is made up of fixed charges, or items which have been appropriated in recurrent amounts by the legislature and expenditures definitely fixed by vote of the people.” The percentage of increase of the total budget, the governor pointed out, is lower than for any period since the budget law was enacted. It also shows a lower per capita cost of government, as the increase is less than the increase in California's population. Among the permanent improvements granted were the following: State fair, $210,000; National Guard, $227,000; state parks, $35,480; Folsom state prison, $280,000; San Quentin, $380,000; rivers, harbors and bridges, $889,000; Agnews' state hospital, $476-000; Mendocino state hospital, $385,000; Anaheim will entered visitors on Friday when the public welcomes the California Congregators; will hold conference here.

He became a supervisor officially at noon Monday. Chapman's first act was to second the nomination of Schumacher when it was made by Smith. The following appointments have been made: Dr. F. W. Slabaugh, county purchasing agent; A. A. Brock, horticultural inspector; W. S. Gregg, county aid commissioner; Dr. K. H.

Wilkins, county livestock inspector; George McPhee, sealer of weights and measures; Charles C. Carrillo, interpreter; Doris Scalley, statistician. Surprise at the change of chairmans today was followed by expressions of admiration at the action of retiring Chairman Schumacher, and approval of his reasons for launching a new administrative policy. CHRISTMAS GIFT Captain J. B. Root some days ago received a very acceptable Christmas gift, consisting of a basket filled with a dozen or more bottles of pickles, sauces, and relishes from the Heintz company at Pittsburgh, where he was formerly employed as traveling salesman. Accompanying the gift was a letter from the president of the company conveying to the captain the felicitations of the Merry Christmas season. Twenty-six years ago our fellow townman was awarded a silver cup, suitably inscribed, for having made the most tales during the year out of 268 traveling salesmen. A personal letter of thanks from Mr. Heintz accompanied the gift, in which he said the company had lost less money in Captain Root's accounts than those of any other salesman in his employ. The cup was exhibited at the Buffalo exhibition. These gifts are very highly prized, and come as a fine testimonial not only to a deserving employee, but to a very fine gentleman as well. MASONIC EMBLEM Frank Ey was presented with a Masonic gold emblem by the Santa Ana lodge some evenings ago, in honor of being fifty years a member of the Masonic lodge. It was presented by several grand officers, who were present at the ceremonial. Mr. Ey joined the Masons in this city in 1878, but for a number of years has been a member of Santa Ana lodge. He was formerly mayor of this city and in his younger days was the only man who wore a silk hat in town. He had the reputation of being the best dressed and the best looking man in these parts. He was a knockout. He has retired from active business pursuits and for many years has occupied his time in clipping interest coupons from government bonds. The percentage of increase in the total budget, the governor pointed out, is lower than for any period since the budget law was enacted. It also shows a lower per capita cost of government, as the increase is less than the increase in California's population. Among the permanent improvements granted were the following: State fair, $210,000; National Guard, $227,000; state parks, $35,480; Folsom state prison, $280,000; San Quentin, $380,000; rivers, harbors and bridges, $889,000; Agnews' state hospital, $476,000; Mendocino state hospital, $385,000; Napa state hospital, $60,000; Norwalk state hospital, $882,000; Patton state hospital, $195,000; Stockton state hospital, $223,000; Sonoma state hospital, $196,500; Pacific Colony, $300,000; Preston School of Industry, $155,000; Ventura school for girls, $10,900; Whittier state school, $252,760; industrial home for blind, $26,035; state teachers colleges—Chico, $190,768; Fresno, $1,450; Humboldt, $96,000; San Diego, $375,000; California polytechnic school $140,000; California schools for deaf and blind, $70,000 and University of California, $851,000. The total budget of all permanent improvements in the state for the two-year period was $7,543,025.42.

Anaheim Attitude On Junior College What the Chamber of Commerce Has Been Doing to Promote It Answering a criticism of Anaheim’s endeavors to promote the Junior College proposal, George W. Reid, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, has the following to say: According to a purported interview, alleged to have taken place with Mr. S. C. Hartranft of Fullerton and the Anaheim Bulletin, Saturday, December 29th, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce has not taken any interest in the Junior College. We are presenting the following facts to the people of Anaheim: The directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and many of our citizens had expressed themselves in favor of one Junior College, located centrally, somewhere in the vicinity of the County Hospital. On October 7th, 1926, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce directors invited the directors of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce to meet with them in Anaheim, to discuss the one college idea. After a lengthy discussion, the follow- PACKING HOUSES BUSY WITH THE NAVELS ANAHEIM DISTRICT TO SHIP 220 CARS DURING SEASON IS ESTIMATE Half of This Was Sent to Market at the Close of Last Week; Growers Getting Excellent Prices for Fruit This Year; First Cars Were Shipped at Thanksgiving Time; Good Quality Here.

The directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce invited the directors of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce to meet with them in Anaheim, to discuss the one college idea. After a lengthy discussion, the following motion was made by Mr. Frank Gibbs of Anaheim, and seconded by Mr. Rousseau of Santa Ana, viz.: "It is the sense of this meeting that we are in favor of County Junior College, located in close proximity to the County Hospital." This was carried unanimously. November 4th, 1926, the Anaheim directors invited the directors of the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce to meet with them to discuss the "one" Junior College idea. President H.E.W.Barnes stated that Anaheim had invited the Santa Ana directors over to discuss this question, and it was looked on with favor by that organization. Mr. John Prizer, leading the discussion for the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce in a very able way, presented arguments for one North Orange County Junior College. Dr. H.A.Johnston led the discussion for the Anaheim directors and emphasized the one Junior College for the county. This meeting clearly set forth the opposition of Fullerton to one Junior College. During the year 1927, the Junior College was discussed at the Associated Chambers of Commerce meetings. The city of Placenta constantly kept the Junior College before the public because they, too, believed in one County Junior College. On January 1928, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce met with the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce at Fullerton. Mr.Ralph McFadden, representing the Placenta Chamber of Commerce, was present. President Gregory of Fullerton stated the object of the meeting was to discuss the Mexican situation between Anaheim and Fullerton. This question was discussed a little but the real intent and purpose of the meeting was made known when Mr.McFadden of Placenta spoke on the Junior College. He stated that Santa Ana had definitely stated they were not in favor of one County Junior College, and were taking steps to maintain one in the southern part of the county. This being Santa Ana's attitude, it seemed to hi mthat Placenta, Fullerton and Anaheim should establish and maintain a northern Junior College, somewhere near these cities. Several speakers concurred with Mr.McFadden on this subject. On February 16th, 1928, the Placerta board of directors met with the directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. The discussion of a North Orange County Junior College was the purpose of this meeting. The discussion was opened by Mr.H.Hale, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Placenta, who stated the position of that city with at the Close of Last Week; Growers Getting Excellent Prices for Fruit This Year; First Cars Were Shipped at Thanksgiving Time; Good Quality Here. Although the navel orange is secondary to the valencia in the Anaheim district, and growers have for some years past been gradually supplanting their navel trees with the better-paying valencias, the crop being harvested in this section this year is much larger than usual, and the prices being received considerably higher than the average. Packing of navels generally begins here about a month before Christmas in order to get some of the fruit on the eastern market for the holiday trade. This season the first shipments were made about Thanksgiving time, and harvesting and packing are still in operation. Up to the end of last week, 110 cars had been handled by the various packing houses of this city, and it is estimated that this is just half the crop being yielded by the groves. Following is the number of cars shipped by each of the local houses: Olive Fruit company, 71 cars; Anaheim Citrus Fruit association, 17 cars; Anaheim Co-operative Orange association, 11 cars; Anaheim Orange and Lemon association, 10 cars; and the newly organized Anaheim Community Growers association, one car. Slowness of the fruit to sweeten up to the required 8 to 1 test in many groves is seriously handicapping sheppers, according to Manager W.H.Schureman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association. Mr.Schureman states that his house is hard put to keep the supply of fruit coming from the groves in large enough quantities to fill the orders on hand from the eastern markets. Last season practically all fruit was well up to test by January 1. The dominance of smaller sizes this season is expected to offset somewhat the favorable results expected from the good quality and large quantity of fruit on the trees, it is pointed out. Manager Schureman said reports from the exchange office in Los Angeles indicate that Orange county navels, this year, are averaging better than two packhouse sizes larger than the average sizes being picked in other parts of the state. A total of 220 cars of fruit is expected to be shipped from the Anaheim district this season, according to advance estimates. Lerton and Brea—work with the boards of education representing these districts with reference to a North Orange County Junior College. On March 1st, 1928, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce entertained directors from Huntington Beach, Orange and Garden Grove, seeking to get expressions form these cities regarding a North Orange County Junior College. Mr.Mandeville of Huntington Beach stated he favored one Junior College for the county. This idea had been eliminated by the action of Fullerton who in his judgment had prevented... Union Services at Churches This Week Four Churches Combine in Observing Week of Prayer Four of Anaheim's Protestant churches, the Methodist, Presbyterian, Calvary Baptist and Salem Evangelical, are observing the week of prayer by holding joint meetings. The first was held on Tuesday night at the Evangelical church this was Presbyterian night, but the new Presbyterian church not being completed, the service was held at the Salem church. Rev. Thomas H. Walker pastor of the Presbyterian church, presided and the principal address was made by Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood of the White Temple Methodist church. His subject was "The Universal Church" Last night the meeting was held at White Temple with Dr. Haywood presiding. Rev. L. M. Light was speaker of the evening, his subject being "Nations and Government." At the Salem church tonight Rev. Light will preside and the address will be made by Rev. L. T. Barkman on the subject of "Missions." Friday night at Calvary Baptist church Rev. Barkman will be in the chair and Rev. Thomas H. Walker will be the speaker, his subject being "Families, Schools and Universities." being Santa Ana's attitude, it seemed to hi mthat Placentia, Fullerton and Anaheim should establish and maintain a northern Junior College, somewhere near these cities. Several speakers concurred with Mr. McFadden on this subject. On February 16th, 1928, the Placentia board of directors met with the directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. The discussion of a North Orange County Junior College was the purpose of this meeting. The discussion was opened by Mr. H. H. Hale, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Placentia, who stated the position of that city with reference to this college. Mr. McFadden followed Mr. Hale and gave a resume of what had been done in the county concerning one County Junior College, and stated that since this could not be accomplished he thought it was well for us to secure one North Orange County Junior College, located advantageous to all our cities. A survey was visors had been asked to appropriate to be made of the county and the super-$1,000 for this survey. When it was completed, the results would be given to each city in the county. No action on this question was taken at this meeting. On February 23rd, 1928, the directors of the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce were invited to meet with the Anaheim directors at the Elks club. President Yungbluth stated the object of this meeting was to discuss the North Orange County Junior College. President Gregory of Fullerton was introduced, and he, in turn, introduced Mr. John Prizer, asking him to present the Fullerton Junior College and the work it had been doing. This was done in a very interesting manner. After discussing the proposition freely, the following resolution was offered by Mr. Evans seconded by Mr. Barnes: "Be it resolved that the directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, representing the citizens of Anaheim, are willing and desire to co-operate with Fullerton for the establishment of one North Orange County Junior College. Carried." At this meeting it was suggested that the three Union College districts—Anaheim, Fullerton and Brea—work with the boards of education representing these districts, with reference to a North Orange County Junior College. On March 1st, 1928, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce entertained directors from Huntington Beach, Orange and Garden Grove, seeking to get expressions form these cities regarding a North Orange County Junior College. Mr. Mandeville of Huntington Beach stated he favored one Junior College for the county. This idea had been eliminated by the action of Fullerton who, in his judgment, had prevented this very thing by saying they would not give up their Junior College. As far as Huntington Beach was concerned they were just as favorably located to Long Beach as they were to Santa Ana or Anaheim. Mr. V. D. Johnson of Orange thought that geographically they were allied more closely to Santa Ana than any other district. Mr. Tobias of Garden Grove stated that they were somewhat nearer Santa Ana than Anaheim or Fullerton. The thought of the three visiting communities was that we should wait until a survey had been made by Superintendent Cooper. Nothing was done at this meeting except to explain to the visitors that there was an opportunity to join a North Orange County Junior College district. On March 15th, the directors of the Orange Chamber of Commerce met with the directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Johnston, reporting on the meeting of the Junior College committee, with representatives of Orange, stated that Messrs. Allen, Clements, Flushback and V. D. Johnson of Orange, had met with the Fullerton committee. It was pointed out that Anaheim in due time would be absorbed by the Junior College at Fullerton, and Orange will finally be taken in by the city of Santa Ana. In order to preserve the identity of these different school districts, it was thought perhaps these two cities and Garden Grove could enter into a proposition whereby a third Jun- (Continued on Last Page) ETTE VALUE OF ORANGE COUNTY'S CROPS IN 1927 Orchard Crops.....$32,854,852.53 Truck Crops.....2,122,910.00 Field Crops.....3,815,750.63 Number 12 PERVISOR'S HEAD Presbyterians Hold Services in New Bible School The first service to be held in the new Bible school and social hall of the First Presbyterian church was held Sunday morning. At this time the regular church service, preceded by the Sunday school service, was held. The building is the first unit of two buildings to be built by this church organization and has not yet been completed. The morning service was held on the ground floor, which will be used as a social hall, dining room, kitchen, and will also have a room where Dr. H. A. Johnson's Bible class will meet. Following the church service several thousand dollars were given toward the building fund. The church structure proper will be begun when the Bible school unit has been completed, in about three weeks time. The building is at the corner of Helena and Broadway. The formal dedication of the Bible school will be held as soon as the construction work is completed.

Mrs. Seale has been a director of the Anaheim chapter of the Red-Cross since its organization for war work in 1917, and she took an important part in the last campaign here, being accorded much of the credit for its success. She had been also an active member of the Anaheim Women's Relief corps for many years. Besides her daughter, Mrs. Renner, deceased is survived by another daughter, Mrs. J. M. Casey of Anaheim, two grandchildren, two great grandchildren, a nephew, Charles Squires of Anaheim, a sister, Mrs. Ed.

Senator Edwards Goes to Capital Senator Nelson T. Edwards of Orange went to Sacramento Saturday to attend the opening of the state legislature's forty-eighth session, announcing that he will make a determined effort to have the Santa Ana Canyon highway, between Santa Ana and San Bernardino, made a part of the state highway system. Other measures that Senator Edwards "may" introduce, it is said, include a proposal to outlaw solid tires on trucks from public highways; also legislation affecting the Newport Harbor district. Dollars Received for the Season's Crop; Stockholders Meet in Annual Session Tuesday and Organize for Coming Year; More Than 705 Cars Shipped During the Year. Reviewing a season which brought f.o.b. returns to the Placentia district tatalling $1,509,439.91; electing a new board of directors to serve during the coming year and endorsing plans for the erection of $100,000 addition to the packing house, member-growers of the Placentia Mutual Orange Association held their annual meeting Tuesday. John C. Tuffree, president of the association, presided over the meeting, which lasted practically all day, with a luncheon served at the Round Table clubhouse at noon. The business sessions were held at the packing house in the morning and afternoon. Places for 185 persons were laid at the noon luncheon and more than 200 growers took part in the business sessions. In the annual election held at this time all the directors were re-elected, the only change in directorate being the election of Director C. C. Wagner to succeed Director Edward A. Backs as vice-president. The other directors re-elected at this time are John C. Tuffree, president; E. A. Backs, William Bielefeld, Charles E. Fuller and E. C. Basten. Henry C. Easton, secretary and manager, was given a vote of confidence and re-elected for another year. C.P.Wilson, manager of the Exchange Orange and Lemon By-Products plant at Ontario, gave the principal address of the day on "Oranges." Other speakers included Dale R.King, manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange; Norman Blaney, secretary of the Orange County Farm Bureau, and C.Smiley of the Farm Bureau. Construction of the $100,000 addition to the packing plant, a project endorsed at this time, will double the capacity of the plant to meet an expected increase of 50 per cent in next year's output, it is announced. Construction of the addition is expected to commence at once. Pointing out the pressing need of more room, Manager Easton stated in his report that the 1929 California citrus crop is expected to be the largest crop ever produced. He also stated that the local association has added 369 acres to its membership rolls during the past season and that 200 more acres are expected to be added before the 1929 season opens. During the past season the house shipped 64.6 cars of navels; 192.2 cars of valencias; 47.7 cars of lemons and 1.4 cars of miscellaneous varieties, or a total of 705.9 cars with f.o.b. returns totalling $1,509,439.91. This was a reduction of 36.3 per cent in cars shipped and $319,131.46 less than the returns from the 1926-27 crop, he said. During the season a total of 331,763 field boxes or 220,636 packed boxes, a pack out of 66.50 per cent being effected. The house paid an average return to the growers of $5.194 per box net to the Senator Nelson T. Edwards of Orange went to Sacramento Saturday to attend the opening of the state legislature's forty-eighth session, announcing that he will make a determined effort to have the Santa Ana Canyon highway, between Santa Ana and San Bernardino, made a part of the state highway system. Other measures that Senator Edwards "may" introduce, it is said, include a proposal to outlaw solid tires on trucks from public highways; also legislation affecting the Newport Harbor district. Edwards said he had agreed to introduce a bill to create a Newport Harbor school district, of territory now included in Santa Ana school district. He also stated that he had been requested to introduce a bill to create a Newport Harbor development district, the passage of which he hopes to secure. Authorities of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, with the universal support of Southern California interests, are backing Edwards in his plan to include the Santa Ana Canyon highway in the state road system, but vigorous opposition is expected from northern districts, the senator said, in view of a recent statement by B. B. Meek, state director of public works, who expressed an unfavorable attitude toward inclusion of any roads in the state highway system this year. Mrs. Edwards accompanied Senator Edwards to Sacramento. JURY DUTY James Enearl has been serving as a term trial juror for three months past, but has been excused because of indisposition.
